But what about praising and worshiping our Lord?
I don't see us studying Scripture in heaven (but maybe).
I don't see us praying there either.
But we will be praising so worship up

And that is indeed cause for praise and worship!
Thank You Father, thank You Jesus, thank You Holy Spirit for making it all possible!
Mark: 8. 34. And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
36. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38. For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
For this is the truth that who ever read and understand it
while keeping his words of doctrines unto their hearts and souls
cannot be trap by the deception men . ...

And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
And that's why . ...
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
what a nice story . ... :rofl:

Rock and roll in the Old Testament.
Psalm 150:4-6
Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Praise God.

Revelation 19:4-7 (KJV)
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven <---- more praise with an offering of giving up our will for his will in us.
Give us this day our daily bread <---------- asking for what's needed
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others who trespass against us <-------------- pleading for mercy and asking for an equal measure of mercy for others.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and glory. Amen <------ worship as the result of prayer.
I suspect, in heaven, we won't need daily bread or to forgive or be forgiven again. Outside of that, I don't see where this is much different than that. I see prayer as talking to God about many things. I see reading the Bible as his answers many times. The rest happens as we live our lives.

Very nicely said, and right in line with how I understand the Lord's Prayer template. I would modify one thing however:
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others who trespass against us <-------------- pleading for mercy as we demonstrate an equal measure of mercy for others.
We needn't ask God for mercy towards those who have wronged us, that is something He left for us to do on our own, stating elsewhere in the Bible that as we do for others He will do for us.
